If you are going to be playing with flywheels, you’ll also need a strap wrench to hold it while removing or torquing it down. Did I say torque? A good quality torque wrench will also ensure the flywheel is tightened properly to its given value and not damaged.
A strap wrench can be homemade or bought pretty cheap. I like to remove the original strap and replace it with a length of old serpentine belt as it’s tough and doesn’t slip.
